Chapter 279: Are You Still Human?

e all true. 。You won't believe it now, but you'll regret it sooner or later. 。"Quán Jì started to get agitated again, subconsciously waving his sleeves and saying: "Alright, this king knows" 。Wait her...The divorce paper from her husband, Hai Fu, was received this morning. An official from the Lin'an County Government delivered it personally to her in front of all members of the Yu family.

Old Master Yu felt this was a disgrace, an immense shame! In his family's view, divorce didn't exist. If one had to leave, it was through a formal annulment by the husband. He would initiate the annulment and give the divorced wife a shameful reason, ensuring she could never hold her head high again. 。To his surprise, he actually ended up getting married. Under the pressure from the Ministry of Justice, he had no choice but to agree. Otherwise, all the hard work he'd put in over the years to build his family business could be seized. 。He couldn't guarantee that every penny he earned was clean; on the contrary, he knew deep down that over 70% of his family's wealth was ill-gotten and wouldn't stand scrutiny. 。So he had no choice but to swallow his anger, sacrificing his own face to protect his wealth, and also the remaining concubines and daughters in his family. 。He didn't make any demands at all, he demanded that Mrs. Hai leave the house completely. 。Don't take anything from the Yu family, including the dowry that was brought over from the Hai family. Don't even think about taking a single thing. All the deeds to the property must also be changed to his name. 。Including all the dowry items given to Xuanji must be surrendered, not a single one can be taken out of the Yu family. 。So at this moment, the Sea Lady and Yu Xuangji each carried a bag and walked out. When they passed by Old Master Yu, neither of them gave him a glance, as if he didn't exist at all. They were both determined to leave the mansion as quickly as possible. 。 Mr. Yu felt insulted, and on top of that, he had just been splashed with blood, making him feel both irritated and worried about his beloved concubine. As soon as he saw the two women, he immediately flew into a rage—"What do you have in your hands Are you stealing from the Yu family Stand still!" Hai Fu and Yu Xuanji stood down. Yu Xuanji looked at her father with disbelief, "We only have clothes, not even an extra one. We haven't touched any money or valuables, Father, what do you want" "Hmph! Clothes are just clothes Who knows if your clothes are hiding silver from the Yu family 。He waved his hand, “Bring someone here, search them for me! Search their bags first, then their bodies. Search thoroughly, check their necks, ears, hair, any place that could possibly hide something, search it all!”

As soon as he said this, two women immediately stepped forward, snatched the bag from the mother and daughter's hands and started rummaging through it. 。The Madam Hai was furious, her face turning red. Yu Xuanji wanted to argue with her father, but Hai Madam stopped her, “Don’t bother arguing with him. Let’s just endure this one last time. Once we get out of this door, our future will be bright.” 。 “Light Bah! You wretch, do you think you can be so bright Without the protection of my Yu family, with nothing but the two of you, how bright can you possibly be I'll give you a path, go to the Flower Lane in the outer city. That's the only place that will take women who have nothing. Sleep with several men, and slowly you'll earn some money. If you do it long enough, you might even save up something. It's the perfect job for people like you...” 。“ ”

“Yu Changwen!” Hai Fu-ren suddenly rushed forward, pushing the bloodied man in front of her away. She was furious and raged— “Are you still human You can insult me, but Xuan Ji is your flesh and blood, your biological daughter! How can you shame her so What kind of father are you”

Yu Xuan Ji felt sorry for her mother and also feared that her father might get violent. She quickly stepped forward to persuade: “Mother, stop. Let’s go, leave the baggage behind. Let's just leave now…”

"You're dreaming!" Old Master Yu roared, "Search him! What are you waiting for Come and search him!" Two maidservants moved awkwardly, and two strong men rushed over from the side. 。Hai Fu Ren's maid, Feng Mama (the one who went to the General's Mansion that night to deliver a message), suddenly stepped forward and stopped the two servants. She said fiercely, "If anyone dares to take another step forward, this old woman will fight them to the death today! Unless you kill me here, as long as I am still alive, once I leave this door, I will report you! I'll accuse Yu Changwen, the former Sixth Rank official of the Ministry of Justice, of murder!"Feng Mama’s accusation caused Yu Changwen's face to change drastically. "Crazy woman, what nonsense are you spouting! Bring her to me! Take her down and tie her up in the firewood shed! No! Wait, we're moving soon anyway..." 。...get bundled into the carriage and follow us to our new home. I want to interrogate him personally... 。“Yunnan

“You dare!” Hai Fu clutched Feng Mama tightly, “She is my dowry maid, a servant of our Hai family. Her indenture contract is kept in the Hai family! What reason does your Yu family have to take her Yu Changwen, do you not admit to the crime of murder There are more than just people who died at your hands in this mansion. Even that concubine of yours who squabbles for favor every day, how many dead bodies have been carried out from her room If you can withstand being reported, then today I will disgrace both my daughter and myself to the core! But if you cannot withstand it, then just obediently shut your mouth and do not push your luck!”

Hai Fu was a kind person, never using harsh words. Even when Yu Changwen favored concubines and mistreated her and her daughter, she rarely lost her temper. At most, she would stay in the Buddhist hall for a night, chanting scriptures, and the unease in her heart would dissipate.” 。But now I really can't bear it any longer, Yu Changwen is becoming more and more excessive. She is not afraid of being humiliated, but Xuán Jī cannot stand it. 。"Yu Changwen, listen to me, you and I are already divorced. You don't want Xuanji. Once we leave this door, I will go to the county office and transfer her household registration from your Yu family to my Hai family name." 。Even though our family doesn't live in Lin'an and I have no money, my daughter and I will still beg our way back home. We will never have anything to do with your Yu family again. 。"We don't want these two packages anymore, but if you dare to insult Suanji again, Hai Ru Yin will never let you go!" Yu Changwen was intimidated by her aura and didn't dare to utter another vulgar word or call his men forward to search him. 。The Sea Lady sneered, “When you came to my family to propose, you were just a scholar. My father saw that you were filial to your widowed mother and diligent in your studies, even passing the exams to achieve fame. He thought you were promising and reliable, so he agreed to the match and even used his connections to help you find a teacher from the capital.” 。

I didn't expect that it was all an act of yours. You and your mother were both pretending, just to deceive a young lady from a wealthy family into marrying you, so as to improve your family tree that has been commoners for eight generations.

Later, after you passed the imperial examination and became an official in Beijing, you became increasingly out of control. You favored concubines over your wife, destroying families, and your morals plummeted. What has become of this Yu Mansion Every time I live here, I feel sick!” The old Nanny Feng tightly protected Madam Hai and Xuanji, listening to Madam Hai's account. For a moment, tears streamed down her face. 。When my daughter got married, what a spectacle it was! Our family has three sons, but only this one daughter. Everyone in the whole family doted on her like she was their precious jewel. 。Her family gave everything they had. Her dowry was carried in dozens of chests, and the gifts from her sisters-in-law alone could have bought several houses. 。But all those things were squandered by you, weren't they Either spent on drinking with courtesans, or pleasing your concubines and illegitimate daughters, or else thrown away at gambling dens. 。Later, he learned to be a good husband and took care of everything, but kept it all for himself. Our wife couldn't even see a trace of her dowry. 。"Those dowry items that came in later, it was because we fought tooth and nail to protect them. If not for us and scaring them off the night family wouldn't have gotten away with taking them! Knowing you were like this, my daughter would never get married. I would rather she stayed unmarried than end up with someone like you!"

"You're full of it!" Yu Changwen was about to go mad, "Only your Hai family girls are valuable, only your Hai family girls are precious! Don't you ever bother to go out and ask around, find out who the Hai family is in this Lin'an City! A poor girl from the countryside, don't always think of yourself as a noblewoman. You think you are a princess from a marquis or duke's family Besides, have I not been good to your family If I truly didn't care for them, I wouldn't have arranged such a good marriage for this wretched woman." 。Go and find out what the Yipin General's Mansion is like. Their daughter married a prince or a royal, I found such a good match for your daughter, and you don't even know how to be grateful" He didn't mention it before, but now that he did, Hai Fu's anger flared up even more. "What should I be grateful for Should I be grateful that your real intention is to send your illegitimate daughter as a dowry, allowing the sisters to share one husband Or should I be grateful that you spend all day teaching your illegitimate daughter how to serve men well, so that she can push her elder sister out of the position of the main wife and become the mistress of the house herself"Hai Fu wiped at her face, but found that she had no tears left for this man. "This marriage was arranged by the old lady that night. You know why she chose the Yu family And why she chose our Xuanji Because she knows you are a coward, and she also knows that you don't care about Xuanji, so in the future, even if Xuanji is bullied to death by the Ye family, you wouldn't dare to say a word at their door."。She also knows you've been drinking and gambling outside, knows you'll never amount to anything and can't possibly reach the court. 。So she wants your daughter to come in, so that she can use you to humiliate Xuanji, and then use Xuanji to humiliate Feiyu Young Master. 。This grandmother is so ruthless! She's subtly taking revenge on her eldest son's family. This has nothing to do with us, but you insist on getting involved in this mess. 。Yu Xuanji listened to these words and felt uncomfortable, her nose stinging with sourness. 。She knew all about this, didn't she She never wanted to marry in the first place. Her mother didn't agree to it either. I heard even Madam Ye was against it. 。To my surprise, the mistress of the night hadn't been able to overpower her own mother-in-law. Her mother hadn't even been able to overpower her father either. 。So the matter was settled. She was heartbroken, but after meeting Yè Fēiyù once, she was deeply attracted to that young master. 。At that time, her mother had already accepted this fate and just resigned herself to it! Fortunately, Young Master Feiyu was a good person, and the mistress of the Ye family wasn't someone who would make things difficult for others. 。As for the old woman, how many more years can she live I'll outlive her. 。Then she eagerly awaited her wedding day, thinking that after marrying, she could leave the Yu Mansion, a place she found unbearable. But she never expected her father and half-sister to have orchestrated such a scheme. 。This is going to be her death!on't know, on the night of the palace banquet, Sixth Highness wasn't wearing red makeup, was he Now, Sixth Highness is truly...truly becoming more and more like the Regent King. 。every single aspect o...
